Sharun Family Donates to Mundare Fire & Rescue

Sharun Family Donates to Mundare Fire & Rescue

Submitted

The Sharun family (Brian, Shawna and Cheyenne) began decorating their farm yard with unique Christmas decorations in 1997. Everyone was welcome to come out to see and enjoy the decorations. For the last five years, they have invited family and friends to join them for an official “light up” celebration that took the decorations to the next level.

People would ask the family how they could help, so Brian put out a donation jar, and since then all money collected went to a charity of the family’s choice. Over the years the Stollery Hospital, The Food Bank, STARS, and the three fire departments involved in the Humboldt bus accident were recipients of the donation jar.

Shawna, Cheyenne and Brian Sharun donate a $1,400 cheque to Mundare Fire & Rescue Fire Chief Glenda Dales, (third from left).

Even though there was no “light up celebration” in 2020 due to COVID-19, people generously made the effort to make donations. Shawna even dressed up as Santa to collect donations from those people who drove by to see the display. This year, Mundare Fire & Rescue received a donation of $1,400 from the Sharun family to be used towards the purchase of a pressure washer system. Members of the Mundare Fire & Rescue cannot express their heartfelt appreciation to the Sharun family for their generous donation.
